mep 004 parts

Mine has blown a headgasket, where is the best place to get headgasket and other related parts?

I always buy all my parts from Delks army surplus http://delksarmynavysurplus.com/. You have to call and order parts. Very helpful and knowledgeable.

Hercano Propulsion (spelling wrong) run by Jerry Biro (his wife Linda does the work, uh, make that administrative work!) has all the necessary parts, including gasket sets. His prices are very good, and they are professional. Do a search of this sub-forum and you'll find several posts made by me with some contact information for them. (They are in Ohio.)

Q: how did you end with a blown head gasket? (Curious...) And does your generator have an ASK?

Here you go:

Thanks guys!

Unit was remanned and had 160hrs on it. It now has 1500hrs. And it is actually a mep 113a that I put a Georgia Generator ST head in. Just the standard enclosure..

I am not positive it is a headgasket, as I havent tore it down yet. It shutdown about 4 hrs into a run, the oil had turned to sludge and radiator was 2qts low.

Ok, tore it down today. Headgasket failed on one cylinder, 2 other cylinders are galled pretty bad and the injectors are coked up.
